(GOP pushed and orchestrated, sic. GWB Martinez et al)The man is the reincarnation* of GWB, It looks like Freddy Kruger might return after all. See my post number 58 which lists only ONE page turned up on GOOGLE (there were a heck of a lot more) showing George Prescott Bush and other BUSH hacks have joined the Thompson campaign. Then again Fred isn't running Hahaha.
It’s one thing to check out websites that tell you Fred’s point of view. But why not let Fred himself tell you?

Stop that!! You got me all riled up again! LOL
Lying again.
Those are NOT “all” relating to illegal aliens. Most do not, in fact.
OK Many relate to Illegal Aliens and also to Legal Immigrants - most of FREDs votes being on the WRONG side in either case. Guess you lied.
Guess what? Many of us have no problem with LEGAL immigration.
Oh, and Fred voted no on an amnesty bill and no welfare for illegals.
You might be right, but, I think it was a lite humored attempt in this article to see it from the “ street point of view “
